Four hundred and ninetieth eight chapters company
Chapter 498: Company
The Taiwanese sailors behind after finishing the hand guns, the Taiwanese sailors with small cannons waved their swords, guns and axes, and various weapons rushed up, howling and drowned a small number of Dutch soldiers on the deck. Zhang Shuizi shouted excitedly, looked around and on the sea
There are warships chasing and fleeing everywhere.
In the early morning, in the southeast of Malacca City, the main battlefield.
The Dutchman, who had been attacking for two days, launched another fierce attack at dawn. The first square formation entered two hundred steps. The road was not wide. Most of the front of the square formation was on both sides of the road. The road was rugged and uneven, and it was constantly being subjected to those
The shrubs were divided and the speed of traveling much lower than normal. At 200 steps, the Dutch phalanx stopped and formed a team once, and then continued to move forward. During this period, the Ming army hit two live ammunitions with three pounds of guns, and three pounds of marbles hit the six rows of queues.
Passing through, the square array lost nearly twenty people, and a little chaos occurred in the queue.
After the square formation entered a hundred steps, the Ming army's three-pound cannon could only replace the shotgun and set the tail high to bombard it.
When the infantry and cannons were really in operation, the Taiwan Town Army showed the weakness of the military's time being too short, and the gunners and gunners cooperated very poorly. The Dutch military formation was getting closer and closer with the accompaniment of bulging stairs and bulging, and it was a bit confusing.
The Ming army's front was only completed to shoot. A roulette of guns and three-pound cannons roared, and the neat Dutch army line was broken. The soldiers in the front row fell to the ground, revealing the spearmen with straight backs behind. Soon another
With the volley of the wheels, many spearmen were hit. The Ming army's front was a little messed up by the smoke of choking when the three-pound cannon was fired, and the volleyball began to become messy. After the attack, they stood there.
The Dutch military formation paid a certain price and finally advanced to the forefront of the Ming army's front.
Various sharp blades were waving in front of the formation, and both sides stabbed each other with spears and swords through the chest wall. Both sides suffered heavy losses. The chest wall was filled with corpses of both sides. Countless wounded soldiers were wailing on the ground, and both sides were fighting for the last one.
Fierce. A group of Ming soldiers were stabbing outside with spears, making a sound like a wolf howling, and a few spearheads were stretched out from outside.
The spearhead was quickly withdrawn, and the Dutch soldier howled sharply, and was stabbed in the chest, but it was quite fierce, and there was nowhere to hide among the crowd. Therefore, although his chest was severely painful, the spear in his hand did not recycle it.
Retreat and continued to assassinate inside. The two armies stabbed each other violently several times through the chest wall. The Ming army, who was at a disadvantage in height and strength, retreated step by step. During the crazy battle, two violent explosions suddenly broke out in the Dutch rear squad.
The ground was vibrated violently, the rear gold formation was blown to pieces, several human bodies were lifted into the air, and countless broken armor and weapons flew into the air.
The Dutch army was in chaos, and the Ming army was also a little dizzy when bombed, and the debris fell from the air.
This round of artillery did not defeat the Dutch army, but the Ming army finally collapsed. No supervision team could stop it. The defeated Ming army left all the wounded and fled. Ma Cheng looked at the defeated front line and looked gloomy. After hesitating for a moment, hesitated and still went from the battle
In the reserve team, the fourth battalion forces were drawn to launch a counterattack. The four battalions quickly repelled the Dutch attack, but Ma Cheng was really not happy. The war of attrition had reached the stage of using the reserve team, and soon he would
No soldiers are available.
The front-line position is like Shura hell. The small position is filled with corpses inside and outside. Several large holes that exploded on the ground are still emitting white smoke. Various pieces of limbs are sprinkled all over the ground. The position is covered with red along the chest wall.
The bodies of Ming soldiers and the orange Dutch soldiers were not clear because of the close color of the military uniforms. Ma Cheng has figured out the origins of these Dutch soldiers opposite, and they are really the elite standing army of the Dutch Kingdom.
The Dutch standing army that took turns to charge, had more than twenty companies.
Each Dutch company has 300 people, that is, an elite army with more than 6,000 people. It uses close-range shooting tactics to defeat 10,000 Ming troops in the defense field. Six thousand to ten thousand, Taiwan's town army is
After a complete defeat, the Dutch standing army performed its approach to shooting tactics perfectly.
This is something that has not been mentioned in the military school textbooks, and it has brought great shock to Macheng. Close shooting is not something that any miscellaneous soldiers can do. A square formation must silently endure the ravages of the gun ferry and endure one more round
Even two rounds of platoons approached less than thirty steps, which was something that only the most elite infantry in Europe could do. This tough tactic greatly reduced the role of the Ming army's chest wall.
As the name suggests, the height of the chest is only reaching a person's chest. It is impossible to be higher. No matter how high it is, it cannot be shot. Most of the body above the chest is still exposed. At a distance of less than thirty steps, the mezzanine can also be shot very well.
Accurate, it has been proven many times by the Dutch in a few days. At a distance of thirty steps, the accuracy of the heavy-core gun is not much worse than that of the rifled gun, and the Dutch soldiers' marksmanship is much better than that of the Taiwanese town army.
, and most of them were shot in the head and killed on the spot.
No matter how successful the cavalry attacked Palembang were, they should launch a full-scale counterattack, and this decisive battle cannot be delayed anymore.
The most deadly thing was the Dutch artillery, which was advancing at an extremely slow speed, and the Ming army's artillery battalion also fell at a disadvantage in the artillery battle. No matter how slowly the artillery advances, it will eventually advance to the range of precise strikes, to
At that time, the entire front collapsed, and the chest wall half a meter behind could not resist the close bombardment of the twelve-pound cannon.
After pondering for a moment, Ma Cheng decided to order: "Get out."
Dozens of generals bent down and retreated, rode their horses to the Tibetan soldiers fifty miles away, gathered a large number of light cavalry to counterattack, and counterattacked from both wings to attack the two soft ribs of the Dutch army. This was simply a battle between the three kings.
The copy of the Spanish phalanx also hits the fatal weakness of the Spanish phalanx, which is too poor in mobility! The Spanish phalanx has extremely poor mobility, basically only forward and not backward, and the fragile wings lack sufficient protection. They are wearing armor and holding
The spearman of the spear is extremely bulky.
When the Spanish wing is siege by a large number of cavalry, its weakness of extremely poor mobility will be infinitely amplified.
The so-called Spanish phalanx that was deified by time travel novels in later generations is extremely ridiculous in the eyes of Macheng. There is an ever-changing truth in this era. Cavalry is the master of the battlefield. Infantry will never defeat cavalry in field battles.
It cannot be defeated, but it cannot escape, of course, except in some special terrain that makes the cavalry fall into the quagmire and has to attack the infantry phalanx. In most cases, the cavalry has sufficient mobility to go around the side, back, from
All directions are full of chewing infantry formations.
Infantry arrays and gun platoons also take time to organize, and the cavalry kept biting from all directions. How long can the infantry phalanx last? One day, two days, or three days. There is no infantry phalanx in this world that can grow
As time remains tense, sooner or later, the cavalry will be bitten and bleeding from death by the cavalry. Macheng has read some time travel novels and famous works. The protagonist develops the Spanish phalanx on a large scale and repeatedly annihilates the cavalry group of the Later Jin in field battles.
